It seemed that if you have action= attribute, then module= was the next logical step with making struts modular. For us, it certainly helped provide the glue in a very large data centric struts application. Large obviously relative to my situation, so more specifically: 20 modules, 10 state/local government agencies, 30 roles, 10,000 users (250 core 9am-5pm users), and 6 developers. It seems modular link and rewrite tags are a nice step in the right direction. Well, just one perspective to consider. Thanks. Well, that's an interesting idea: html:link module=exercise action=welcome / versus html:link action=/exercise/welcome moduleRelative=false / The former does seem cleaner to me. The trick being that the default value for module is the current module :) If you've implemented one like this, tell me, where there any issues about using html:link module= action=welcome / To indicate the unnamed default module? -Ted. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I started with a simple expression of [\d,]* to validate that the input only contains numbers or a comma. Whatever I input though validator always passed it as valid. Looking into validator it uses Perl5Util.match(pattern, value) This utility uses the Perl5Matcher.contains(value, pattern) method which only checks that the value contains the pattern - not that matches (it says so in the Perl5Util documentation). Isn't this the wrong thing to do - shouldn't validator be using the Perl5Matcher.matches(value, pattern) method. I had a look at commons validator test thinking this must be tested for and I must be mis-understanding it - but mask seems to be the one thing there are no tests for - and there don't seem to be any in struts either for FieldChecks.validateMask()) Anyway, am I right - is this a bug, or am I just using it wrongly?

I have one specific case where a developer chose not to implement an ActionForm class (probably because the app also pre-dated DynaForms and/or he was being lazy) so now the JSP throws an exception when it comes to the html:form tag and can't find a form bean associated with the destination action. Now, I'm all for encouraging people to use Struts the way it was designed to be used, but in this case, the form has no HTML fields which are pre-filled from a form bean, so it seems pushy of the html:form tag to insist that this is an error condition. Would it make more sense to have the individual input tags complain if they can't find a form bean, and have html:form be more permissive?

The html:errors tag forces you to put HMTL markup in the resource bundle.

Resource bundles are for I18N not HTML markup.

way to drill to the property in the common situation of wanting to
display an error by a form element.
Sorry wont post again, but its a tad irritating that something this
useful is being deprecated in favor of some rancid camel's jism of an
alternative.

Hi,
i watched at the sources and figured out, that
ActionError is deprecated so that i have to use ActionMessage. Okay.
The add() in ActionErrors is also deprecated, because of first. fine.
So i watched the Validator-Sources (class FieldChecks)
i saw there ist ActionMessages in use for errors.
for the deliverd Methods.
So i looked at our validate() in ActionForm,
but there is still ActionErrors.
So i wondered, why the validator uses Messages and
the validate() uses Erros

Please add this Tiles tutorial to the tutorial list....
Please add this Tiles tutorial to the tutorial list http://www.arc-mind.com/downloads.htm The Tiles framework makes creating reusable pages and visual components easier. Developers can build Web applications by assembling reusable tiles. You can use tiles as templates or as visual components. In some respects, the tile layout is like a display function. First you pass tile layout parameters to use. The parameters can be simple strings, beans, or tiles. The parameters become attributes to the tile and get stored in the tile's tile scope. For its part, the tile scope resembles page scope, and is less general than request scope. The tile scope lets the tile's user pass arguments (called attributes) to the tile. Definitions let you define default parameters for tiles. Definitions can be defined in JSP or XML. Definitions can extend other definitions similarly to how a class can extend another class. Moreover, definitions can override parts of the definition it is extending. The Tiles framework includes its own RequestProcessor to handle tile layouts as ActionForwards. Thus you can forward to a tile definition instead of a JSP if you install the Tiles plug-in. If you are using Struts but not Tiles, then you are not fully benefiting from Struts and likely repeat yourself unnecessarily. The Tiles framework makes creating reusable site layouts and visual components feasible. In this tutorial you will cover the following: The Tiles framework and architecture How to build and use a tile layout as a site template How to use tile definitions both in XML and JSP How to move objects in and out of tile scope How to work with attributes lists How to nest tiles How to build and use tile layouts as small visual components How to subclass a definition How to create a controller for a tile How to use a tile as an ActionForward - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
